Turtle Overboard!

On this first day of spring, I went on a maiden voyage. Yessir! I got out the kayak and put her into Canandaigua Lake! The water was certainly eye-opening when my toes hit it in my flipflops, but the sun was so generous that soon didn't matter!

I saw some Coots and Bufflehead Ducks way out in the water. I was hoping to perhaps see a Heron, but none. As I made my way down West River, the water diminished to where my kayak actually ran aground a couple of times! Yikes!

Further along, there were a lot of Canada Geese hanging out in the reeds that were flushed out by me. I also saw many turtles lounging on fallen trees floating in the water.

As I approached the pair above, one of the turtles quickly flipped off the log! Not a stellar photo, but let me tell you....when the current is twisting one this way and that, any photo is good!!!
